James O’Keefe Is Gone From Project Veritas — But He Wasn’t Fired

Can’t call him a weasel, because weasels have merit.

So, they were going to bring him back.

Firing him has a negative impact on the revenue stream, just like when Fox admitted that TDFFG lost Arizona. Spin it.

My prediction: O’Keefe will start a new company that does the same thing.

at one point using $20,500 in “excess benefits” to play a lead role in a Virginia-based production of the musical “Oklahoma!”

Funniest thing I have read in a while. Please tell me there is YouTube video.

Just another predictable right wing demonstration of the fable of the scorpion and the frog.

Fortunately for this shitweasel, there are ample opportunities for liars at the moment.

Wow - he missed his real career as a third rate dinner theater star. No wonder he always wanted to play a role in his inane fiascos, like “white pimp man”.

You are an evil genius, BTW.

If you can stand it, here is James O’Keefe doing an unintentional self-parody that rivals Jim Carry’s parody of Vanilla Ice (“White, White, Baby”).

He was Project Veritas… and a cash cow.

I doubt it was a few disgruntled staff that caused the board to sideline him – one or more high-end donors must not have been happy about some expenditures.

Conservative grifters always seem to think that they can’t be supplanted or that there’s an unlimited amount of MAGA money floating around - until the brand starts fading.

Only the really good ones survive – see Wayne Lapierre at the NRA.

Psychopath. Ax murderers are just an extreme form. They’re all over the GOP.

Holy shit. As a big fan of Broadway productions, that is painful to watch.

The ‘amateur’ part is the only mark they hit.

Project Veritas plan: Create a ruse, preserve the grift.

"an excessive amount of donor funds in the last three years on personal luxuries.”

Isn’t that the whole point? See: NRA, TFG’s inauguration committee, TFGs cancer “charity” TFGs PAC, etc etc etc. It’s just a grifting machine. Or maybe he’s too dumb to skim off a commission on the ad buys, like everyone else does.
